    separate the coolant reservoir from the washer fluid

    I am putting coilovers in my ranger and I would have more needed room for the upper mounts if the washer fluid reservoir was somewhere else. Problem is; it's attached to the coolant reservoir. I could easily cut them apart but worry the mounting won't hold the coolant reservoir by itself. Has...

    Clocking the tie rod end

    I have a "Y" link steering setup. It has the one tie rod end that has a tapered hole built in for another tie rod end. My problem is I need that hole to be vertical and it is horizontal. At the risk of getting chewed out here is my question: (keep in mind I AM a certified welder and will be...

    Transmission crossmember height

    Does anyone know what the relative height of the transmission crossmember to the frame height? If you're looking at the truck from the side, at the cross section of the crossmember, how much higher is the crossmember mounting surface to the bottom of the frame? Short story long. I'm redoing the...

    Throttle body rebuild

    Has anyone tried this? Is it possible? I haven't found a kit. The reason I ask is because after performing a smoke test there is a leak in the pivot on the opposite side of the sensor, where the spring is.

    Lower intake manifold gasket

    Hey guys and girls, I'm getting trouble codes p0171 and p0174. I have a Jet power programmer which lets me look at simple diagnosing numbers. The long term fuel trim is holding steady at 25% on both banks. Both O2 sensors seem to be working fine, the MAF sensor seems to be clean. I ran some...

    Where do the grounds go?

    There are three grounds that are bolted to the body on the passenger side behind the kick panel. I traced a positive short to the one with the white stripe. Wiring diagrams only give me what color a wire is and not where it goes, not helpful when all the grounds are either black or black with...

    Has anyone successfully recalibrated the speedo on a 98-00 ranger?

    I've purchased a Jet reprogrammer. There was no option to adjust the speedometer, I called Jet and they told me my firmware was out of date so I went to Ford and had it updated to no avail. Then I actually took it to Ford to see if they would do it and they told me there were only set groups of...

    Black puck mounted to the bw1354

    What's the black puck looking thing bolted to the case? It doesn't seem to be doing anything important. Is it just dead weight? Can I take it off?

    Unusual door chime issue

    I have a 2000 Ranger, 4.0L, 4x4, 4 door. I have this unusual problem that the door chime will continue for about 4 seconds (which is about 4-5 chimes) after I take the key out of the ignition. Sounds normal, right? Here's the kicker, it only happens when I turn the key to run and then off. If I...

    speaker wire connectors

    Hello all, I have been away for a while but I found an interesting solution to a problem I was having with my amp and I decided to share. My issue was the speaker wires coming out of my amp kept breaking off which caused poor connection to the speakers (subsequently making for a rather annoying...

    Jet programmer FYI

    Just got a programmer from Jet. Main reason I got it was to change the tire size so my speedo is accurate. Wouldnt you know, I plugged it in and it skipped right over that part. :lame: Called Jet maybe I had a faulty unit or I missed something or hit a button wrong. :dunno: Turns out in order...

    abs sensor gap?

    Doew anyone know how big the gap should be between the abs sensor and the tone ring? During my axle swap I changed my 9" to accept the tone ring and sensor. At a certain speed the speedometer and odometer quit working. Luckily it is just above freeway speed so it warns me if I go too fast. I am...

    superlift wheel spacing

    When I was quoted for a superlift 4" lift kit the guy behind the counter said I needed offset wheels or wheel spacers in order to use the truck after installation. I have not found anything on this in my searches. Is there any validity to this statement or is he just trying to sell me stuff I...

    98+ solid axle swap?

    I was wondering if anyone has done one, how they did it, what they used, and any problems you ran into. I want to do one on my 2000 ranger and the project seems very overwhelming and i dont want to get stuck trying to figure something out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Fuel Pump Problems - Doesn't start

    My ranger won't start. Not only is my battery dead, but I have a feeling a major problem is the fuel pump. It doesn't make the whirring sound when I turn the ignition to accessory. What is the best way to check that it is indeed the fuel pump, and not some other problem, like wiring?
